Chapter 380: Playing Cards to Conquer the World

The burning village was like a scene of purgatory. The flames were like dancing demons, greedily devouring every inch of land. The originally green fields and quaint houses were all burned down. The air was filled with the smell of wood, cloth and anything that could burn struggling in the flames.

People like zombies walked in this hell on earth, their bodies twisted and deformed, their skin festering. Some had even been burned to charcoal, but the dark figures still moved forward mechanically.

The boy sat on the ground, his vision blurred by tears. He looked ahead in fear, trying to speak but unable to make a sound.

A man was lying on the ground with difficulty, revealing his burnt skin, but he struggled to crawl slowly towards him. The man opened his mouth, and the eyes that looked at him were filled with hunger like a hungry beast.
"."

wake up.

Loren, the last of the Three Musketeers of Doma, sat up, tears unconsciously sliding down his eyes.

"Is it that dream again?"

The voice sounded from beside him.

Loren stood up and bowed respectfully to the person behind him.

"Adjudicator."

The judge was a handsome man, standing quietly by the side and watching him.

"Yeah, another nightmare."

Loren sat up and rubbed his temple.

"It's okay, everything is almost over. Just defeat that guy."

He glanced at the duel disk he had placed aside, and the deck of cards on it.

Yeah, just beat that guy.
Or maybe you were knocked down yourself.

That wasn't bad. No matter what the outcome, at least he could get rid of this nightmare.

"Get ready, the time has come." The Judge said, "The gears of fate have begun to turn, a new era is about to come, and no one can stop it."

"it is good."

Loren nodded and stood up.

Marufuji Ryo was the sixth person to arrive at the registration office.

It seems that although the setback at the hands of You Xuan had some impact, Caesar quickly found his rhythm. After the schedule resumed, he quickly won the last puzzle card and won the sixth spot to advance to the quarterfinals.

"Oh, Caesar is here too!"

Upon seeing an acquaintance, Judai immediately went up to greet him warmly.

"Maybe we'll meet in the next competition. I won't lose this time." Judai smiled.

Seeing him, Marufuji Ryo immediately became motivated, crossed his arms and smiled, "Okay. But I don't intend to give up the victory just like that."

"Hehe, then let's all go all out and have a duel without any regrets."

"Okay!" Marufuji Ryo accepted the invitation with high morale.

Then You Xuan appeared: "Marufuji-san has advanced as well, congratulations. I hope to see you again in the elimination rounds, right?"

"what?"

When Marufuji Ryo saw him, the fire of fighting spirit that had just ignited seemed to dim a little.

"Uh-oh, okay."

Although he said yes, his face showed no expectation at all. Or rather, it was as if he was saying, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is, as long as it’s not you.
You Xuan didn't take it seriously and just smiled.

There's nothing I can do. I don't have Judai's talent of being loved by everyone. But it doesn't matter. It's a duel, and winning is all that matters.

You Xuan looked around.

Looking at it this way, the top eight are basically all familiar faces.
After waiting for a while, the two finally appeared in front of everyone. The two from Doma, the Arbiter as the leader, and the last swordsman Loren.

The seahorse, who had been waiting coldly and motionlessly by the side, finally looked over and let out a meaningful chuckle.

"Just arrived?" Kaiba said calmly, "I'm really lucky, there are only two spots left. I thought you were going to run away."

The judge said calmly, "The fate has already been decided, you just haven't seen it clearly yet, Kaiba Seto. The final spot belongs to the two of us, just as the direction of the game has already been decided."

Kaiba laughed disdainfully.

"Oh, I've heard too much nonsense like this. But the so-called fate has always been just the words of the weak. The strong create their own destiny with their own hands.

You keep talking like this, which only proves that you are just such a superficial person."

The judge smiled but did not refute.

Only then did Kaiba notice the person walking beside him. His eyes seemed to be staring at him from beginning to end, as if he was the only one in his eyes.

"We've finally waited until this moment, Kaiba Seto," he said coldly.

"and who are you?"

"My name is Loren, the last of the Three Musketeers of Doma, the avenger who returned from hell." Loren stared at him coldly, "You took everything from me, and I am your angel of revenge."

He might have thought that this would attract some attention, but unfortunately it didn't. Kaiba just snorted and ignored him.

"Then you'll have to line up. There are too many Avengers looking for me."

I didn't even bother to ask him why he wanted revenge.

"you!"

This attitude only made Loren angrier, and he took a step forward as if he was about to attack.

Of course, facing President Kaiba’s superhuman physical fitness, not many people would benefit from summoning their fists to fight.

"Oh, are we going to do it right here?" Kaiba narrowed his eyes.

"That doesn't matter."

The Judge narrowed his eyes.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as he spoke, dark clouds seemed to gather above them, and the sunlight dimmed without them noticing. Heavy, light grey clouds gathered, and the rumbling thunder sounded like thousands of drums, as if an ancient beast was hiding in the dark clouds and roaring.

Even someone as slow-witted as Judai realized that something was wrong with this guy.

"Why did it suddenly get dark?" Judai looked at the man in surprise.

Could it be this person?

But is it possible that someone can cause the weather to change with just a glance?
Are there really people in the world who have this ability?
".We can solve the problem here directly, but since we have already made an agreement, I suggest that we solve it by duel. What do you think, Kaiba Seto?"

"I still give the same answer." Kaiba crossed his arms and said, "As long as it's a duel, I will accept it no matter who it is."

The judge smiled slightly and said nothing more. But the dark clouds that had been gathering in the sky suddenly dissipated, and the sky seemed to clear up again in an instant.

The consensus reached by both parties was to resolve the issue through a duel.

Kaiba's consideration was that if he summoned the spirits to fight directly, the scope of the disaster would be difficult to control. Moreover, if the opponent was the snake god that fought against the three mythical gods, he would be more confident in his duel than fighting the spirits.

As for the judge.
He walked aside with a nonchalant look, full of confidence that "everything is under control". But as he passed by, he couldn't help but glance in Youxuan's direction.

He didn't even take Kaiba Seto and his White Dragon seriously, but the only person he cared about among all the people present was this young man in yellow.
Or to be more precise, it was the thing that was unsealed by him.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years. The same is true for a snake. After being beaten up by the three of them, he still seems to be in pain. If he has a choice, he doesn't want to fight Pokémon again.

It is more reliable to conquer the world by playing cards.
